There are many ways of which one may look at life. Life can be viewed from personal perspective, from an attempt at others’ perspective, social, mental, spiritual and emotional perspective.
Let us observe the first of these. Life at a personal perspective, all depends on your perception and your mindset. It is how you see things that matter in this, and how other people may react to what you see and what your actions are.
The most important thing that one must remember is that Life is Life. No matter how many things come past, whether good or bad, if one is still alive, then there is still more to come, and no one knows whether this will be good, or bad. And the end is not what one should will to come upon one’s self.
Many years ago, my mindset was crudely like this:
“Suicide is such an easy way out. I have caught my mind considering it a number of times.
A high building, 15 grams of lead, a hot bath and a close shave. The only reason I am here to write these meaningless words is because I want to see the terrible ending.
If the fortune teller didn’t, then the ending is so. Often hard years of not making ends meet,
Losing everything and everyone through death. Retired, lonely and dying of starvation, my soul starts to finally roam the world. On the 42nd day my soul vanishes and leaves this place of hatred and violence, unhappy and unfulfilled.. Thereafter the story ends, the lights fade and the TV is switched off.”
Now however my mind set has changed. One wonders why.
Suicide is not a way out. Whether this is thought out of religious belief, out of common superstition, or any of such forms of faith and mindset, the main point is that suicide, is plainly and crudely giving up. There are many things that may cause one to give up hope; to wish everything to end, to wish it all to disappear so to speak. One must remember however, that action causes reaction, and how one has acted in the past, shows how one will experience in the future.
True, the actions of other people reflect on your future as well, but direct actions cause direct consequences, and if the right actions are made, then one will know whether the consequences are stemming from one ’s self or from others. If one knows that he/she himself/herself is/are to blame, then a dilemma shows up, and one has to decide whether they are strong enough to move forward or not. This is one of the most important things that we must remember. We have to decide whether we are the ones to blame for current situations or not. This is because many blame themselves for everything happening around them, being pessimistic or of such negative mindset. This however, is incorrect, and should be fought against. No-one is ever the blame for everything, for one person cannot control everything, no person is as of yet a god.
The people who come closest to this are Presidents, Congressmen, Religious Leaders and such, because of the large amount of influence which they inflict upon their fellow man. And I say FELLOW man, because they are still men, whether believed to be blessed or not, they are still HUMAN, and are thus still limited, as are all of us.
Depending on the situation and how one emotionally and spiritually feels about the situation, one will decide how to act, or to react. Emotion and one’s spirit (spirit is stated for those who believe that their soul possesses this material body) are two of the strongest forces or powers which a human may possess. These two, control our impulses, our intuition, our thoughts, and at many a time, our actions.
